I've made similar observations that the Underworld Armies are killing each other, and that the losing army (smaller one) joins the winning army (bigger one) afterwards with the remaining troops. It is a bit weird, since you should think the losing army would all die in a battle, like usual.

There are plenty of "free Hearts of Darkness" around, after these battles, if you know where to look.

Kiearanfo, I killed a legion sitting on the Hellmouth spawning portal near my town. I was successful in killing the Legion, but gained no useful info. Now there are 84 HoD sitting on top of the portal, unable to be harvested! I didn't think that far ahead, assumed my troops would die in the search for information

I have done the same, although only 7 hearts are out of reach in my case.

While it is possible to scout or attack on a hellmouth - or other impassable terrain - trade units cannot go there.

(The scouting and attack were achieved by selecting an adjacent tile and, using the red arrows on the 3 by 3 grid, (similar to when sieging a city tile) moving the target tile onto the hellmouth before sending. This option is not available to trade units.)

Actually trade units can go there and harvest. Just an extra step over sending scouts or armies. As you noted, diplomatic units and armies can be sent to hellmouths using the method you mention. To send trade units simply use the method and send diplomatic units or an army. Once sent, access the movements page for the units you just sent and click of the link to the square you sent them to. You'll get the popup menu giving you access to sending harvesters. Once you send the harvesters you should still be able to recall the diplomatic units or army you sent.

There's no love for Elijal!How am I, a citizen of Elijal, supposed to catch any of those underworld thingies? I had to scroll all the way to Djebeli, and I found three of those mobs. I sent my fastest cavalry, but it took them 12 hours to arrive. By then, someone else had alraeady killed them.Wouldn't it be fairer if there were a spawn in every province of the Realm?

I was just scrolling through my notifications for an entirely unrelated matter, and I discovered that Count Rupert sent me 19 Hearts of Darkness, shortly after I posted the above message. This was doubly unexpected, because Count Rupert and I don't know each other, and I hadn't asked anyone for Hearts of Darkness. If I hadn't scrolled so far down, I would never have learnt to whose generosity I owe my "Slayer of Kerberos V" medal.

The way I see the event running is that Underworld Armies will be forever available to us now. The resource they drop, Hearts of Darkness, will become useable in the near future for whatever. Bonuses to alliances attack/defense strength, gold income, or whatever. You will need a specific amount of Hearts to achieve these bonuses within the alliance and alliances should be farming the hell out of these right now to be able to be some of the first to get the bonuses and therefore an advantage over their foes.

So yes, I think you will be able to move your HoD's around till you quit. However, I am not sure :) This is speculation.

Many thanks for that

I have also been told of another way to get there. It seem is there is much more to illy yet to uncover, some things known to long standing players, and, no doubt, things yet to be discovered.
